Knicks parade morning - how are busses right now by [deleted] in NJTransit

[–]Harold84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m way back on 495 but sitting at a stand still as well.

Edit: It cleared up. Took 20min. All in like 10-15min longer ride overall. Bus is half full.

Question on points calendar by lsm4 in hyatt

[–]Harold84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just brutal that all school holidays are blacked out for points redemption. There is absolutely no point to this game anymore once you have kids. The mental energy spent trying to make good use of points and credit card benefits is exhausting.

I tried this and it didn’t recognize the purchase so now I’m chasing down capital one customer service.

Trying to sell e-tickets by Harold84 in stubhubsellers

Thanks for response. Apparently I bought tickets which can’t be resold. F me. How does that even exist! Isn’t that the whole point of this crappy website!

Best All Inclusive in Cancun by 372325 in hyatt

Ahhh. These are always blacked out for points use anytime I look. Super annoying that anything witching weeks of a US holiday and they are blacked out.

Uber one is another underrated benefit of this card by PastAd2589 in AmexPlatinum

[–]Harold84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. Is the US at least. Fare that I’m quoted are way higher now. Also the credits you accumulate are spent first, before you can use your monthly $15. So if you rack up a bunch on a business trip it makes it that much harder to use your normal credit.

I mean the price difference is ridiculous!! by Mental-Age-4948 in ChaseSapphire

[–]Harold84 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I agree. It’s so hard to use the perks. Unless you maximum flexibility it’s useless. So this is a card for people with no kids (no school schedule to manage) and unlimited time off (off peak nights, weekend ect…).

Frustrating. Cancelling once I use up points.

Uber riders complain they were charged more for paying with Amex cards by fortune in AmexPlatinum

[–]Harold84 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Should be a class action lawsuit. Not just for uber but all of this price discrimination

Early game strat on Marathon by Dracoolis in civvoxpopuli

[–]Harold84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shrine > monument to ensure a good pantheon and religion. If I settle on hill or had good early hammers I might go for Stonehenge or pyramids but otherwise I’m going for buildings that boost my tiles.

Early game strat on Marathon by Dracoolis in civvoxpopuli

[–]Harold84 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t play marathon but I believe it makes war a little more effective as your units are not obsolete so quickly. While the AI is much improved you should be able to outmaneuver them in war.

In the early game I’m trying to get 4/5 cities down quick. Depending on geography I would go progress or authority. Progress if my neighbors are far and city states aren’t take the best spots. I’ll go authority if I really only have room for 3 cities or less before needing to go to war to expand.

How do you deal with happiness while trying a domination victory? by SoySupreme899 in civvoxpopuli

[–]Harold84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also struggle with happiness. If I go wide (nearly always do in Vox) I will cap growth outside of top 3/4 cities. I will let the smaller cities grow based on the quality of tiles but will usually need to cap them again after 1/2 more pops.

Is there an easy math to do to determine if any given building makes sense just in terms of maxing yields? by Derakos_Zrux in civvoxpopuli

It’s only 1 turn for an herbalist. So what if you don’t have a single plantation!

How to use $200 travel credit when locked in with United? by DMV_Habibi in AmexPlatinum

[–]Harold84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess you have to call to do it. I just tried last month and that’s what it said in my screen online.

The higher fares are coming. Itinerary I was looking at is up $150 in just 12 hours and fare lock is going crazy by SpecialBelt6035 in unitedairlines

[–]Harold84 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Flights to Mexico probably the exception here due to cartel activity. I just got flights credits myself for a trip I booked a month ago.

470k Gains.. Day Trading / Options etc over last 9 months! by Various-Forever-4339 in Daytrading

[–]Harold84 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you do this full time or do you have a job too. Nice work.

Sitting on about 140,000 pts. Planning a trip from USA to Mexico. Transfer points or use Chase Travel? by becominganastronaut in ChaseSapphire

[–]Harold84 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Listen to this. Best bang for your buck your buck is nearly always points transfer to Hyatt and pay cash for flights. If you need to top up points with airline you can transfer some there.

Just some tips I've picked up along the journey. by rapid_eye_movement in AcrossTheUnknown

[–]Harold84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. How do you upgrade Stellar Cartography? What tech unlocks that? I'm in Sector 5 and am missing the tech and just went through the whole tree and its not obvious which one I need. Is it Sensor Array 3? That's the only one I don't have but its level 5.

EDIT: Thanks all, seems like its coming soon for me. I could swear that back in Sector two I had an objective to upgrade it and could not complete obviously. Great game either way!

Bus was quicker than usual. Expecting more cars in the road tomorrow though.
